In 2020, Spain and the United States had the highest rates of deceased organ donors among select OECD countries with almost 38 people per million population. Organ donation is an important life-saving method for people with organ failure and late-stage disease.
Organ Donation
Organs can be donated from either living or deceased persons depending on the type and supply of select organs. Each country is responsible for organizing its own organ transplant systems. In the U.S., for example, organ donors are required to register to a national database. As of 2018, over half of the U.S. population had been registered as organ donors.
